Episode 220: Two Approaches to Pride | Part 1 with Stephen Nylen
Manage episode 413421369 series 1627021
Some Christians write off June’s Pride festivals as Sodom and Gomorrah. They don’t think anyone there could possibly want God.
Are we so sure about that?
At least two ministries in the U.S. are regularly going to Pride festivals in their areas, and they are seeing people come to know Jesus because of their presence, preaching, and practical love of neighbor.
This week, we interview a street evangelist who has been going to Grand Rapids, Michigan’s Pride Festival for the last five years. We ask:
- Why does he go?
- What heart does he have when he goes?
- What pushback does he receive?
- What fruit does he see from his going?
- What can we learn from his work?
You’re not going to want to miss these episodes.
| Highlights |
- “We are either open and affirming or we are openly condemning, but in the middle ground is the gospel.” —Stephen Nylen
- “They will not know if I do not go. So I have to go. But if you’re going to preach and your feet aren’t beautiful (Westboro Baptist, legalists, moralists, open and affirming, or openly condemning) then you’re not preaching the right gospel.” —Stephen Nylen
- “If you’re a firefighter and you see a fire, then your calling is to go. And so I go.” —Stephen Nylen

What do you always need instructions for? (Making rice, Mac and cheese, or using a lawnmower?)
